Music For Life |
It’s like… you can’t get a relationship with. |
I’m still with. |
my first love which is music |
You’know’what’I’m’sayin'? |
For real |
The reason I’m here is. |
is J Dilla, just like that, peace |
(Music is my life) |
Yeah, yeah |
It started with rhythms I heard listenin' to the wall |
The bouncin' of basketballs on playgrounds and all |
The empty bottles that’s hollow, wind blowin' inside 'em |
The flow and the rhymin' got my alignment to a science |
Mixin' with my moms in the kitchen, them spoons rattlin' |
Pots and pans, faucet water pourin', tunes managin' |
To come from all the fussin' and ramblin' |
What I noticed was -- pure music, untampered with |
By things showbiz does; |
older thugs showed us stuff |
Like how to hold a plug, juice from the street light |
It almost could have blowed us up |
Crates of records, great sessions had the whole hood jammin' |
Large speakers, fresh made, smell the wood sandin' |
Father did his blues smooth, legendary jazz man |
Saw his wife secondary to his true passion |
Started with my crew rappin', new jacks in '82 |
Never looked back, now look what it changed me to: music |
We gotta believe the future |
We gotta believe the past |
We gotta believe in more |
That know that we have |
We gotta believe each other |
We gotta open up our minds |
'Cause music is for life. |
for life |
Uh, what’s the difference between me and you? |
It’s I’m a real connoisseur of this rap shit, I really do it |
My whole life, man, is really music |
Through my bassline, I’m livin' through it |
Another expression of life I couldn’t live without |
I like my music straight pure, not watered down |
DAMN, it felt good to fulfill the dreams of gettin' out the hood |
Kept me busy, gave me a chance to stop sellin' drugs |
Spendin' time in the basement kept me from actin' up |
Zonin' out, wishin' Dre could check it out |
I’m here now, I can’t believe it |
Proof in the puddin', everything happened for a reason |
Through this music I’m able to feed the family |
When I’m stressed out, it’s my sanity |
It’s a lifestyle, all on the street and in Hollywood |
Music in my DNA, it’s my livelihood: music |
We gotta believe the children |
We gotta believe in hope |
We gotta believe in more |
That know that we know |
See, we gotta believe each other |
We gotta open up our minds |
'Cause music is for life. |
for life |
Keep the music alive |
The good and the strong survive |
I closed my eyes and imagined I was 'Jackson Five' |
Randy and Michael, goin' through life cycle |
Music allowed me to let life go |
So vital to a youngster, comin' up amongst street hustlers |
The big beat’ll touch us in such a special place |
Givin' the ghetto a taste of what freedom is like |
I reached a point in my life where I was needin' the mic |
No second guessin', self-expression in lessons learned |
Aggression became sessions where sessions burned |
Put my soul into it, now my feet is firm |
In the game, where a name is hard to earn |
And hot cats' careers gets scarred and burned |
Through the years, mine took a Godly turn |
This is the story of my life here trapped in a verse |
No matter the money or the movies, music is first, yeah… |
We gotta believe the future |
We gotta believe the past |
We gotta believe in more |
That know that we have |
So we gotta believe each other |
We gotta open up our minds |
'Cause music is for life |
See, we gotta believe the children |
We gotta believe in hope |
We gotta believe in more than all we know |
See, we gotta believe each other |
We gotta open up our minds |
'Cause music is for life… |
Ayo, Hi-Tek whattup?, you know who this is |
It’s your boy Busta Bus down, Flipmode Squad, aiight |
Now, you know, this is serious thing behind the music that we’re doing |
It’s like, music, for me man, it mean, it means everything, family |
You know when we going through, our personal strifes in life |
You’know’what’I’m’sayin', we get up in that studio |
Close that door, lock ourselves in, that little four-wall space, man |
Get in the vocal booth and become whoever you wanna be |
Express whatever you wanna feel, you’know’nah’mean? |
When you going through your most frustrating time in life |
You’know’what’I’m’sayin', you can realize that. |
When you can’t find nobody else to speak to |
You can speak through the music |
Help other people feel your pain, your struggle, your passion |
You know, what you live and die for, your values in life |
You’know’nah’mean? |
Music, man, it’s the voice of every being in the universe |
The platform provided for us to communicate, when all else fails |
It’s what allows us to be able to connect |
With touching our hearts and the soul of the streets |
Yo, I’m a Rosemont legend nigga, I’m a felony nigga |
Keep rollin' the motha’fuckers in, my nigga |
Like the bait, they.they. |
hoppin' on it |
When the bait go in, nigga, they can’t playa hate on it |
I’m comin' back niggas, stronger than ever |
Watch this, nigga, Bony Bones, clever if ever |
Playa hater, can’t motha’fucker, fuck with this |
My baby mama even talk about my shit, ha |
I’m hotter than hot, hotter, what? |
Tell 'em, boo |
(Hang up the damn phone!), Yeah, I’m on, alright |
Bony Bones in the house, nigga |
